"Charles Barr has been a member of Business to Business Associates since March 1998. John Miller and his team have been a real pleasure to work with, they have always responded fast and efficiently to my problems, saving me both on utility bills and through the member's association money that now reaches well into four figures. Thanks BBA."

Kevin H Hutchins - Joint Managing Director

“At Ivy House Powerfactor Solutions we are pleased to say that we have been a member of Business to Business Associates for several years and as a member have found this liaison to be very beneficial. We have met and made good contacts with a wide variety of industries which has ultimately increased our workload and we are receiving repeat business in several different sectors of industry. There is also the added advantage of having access to a database of all member companies to call on when we need their services.
The networking meetings held from time to time give all members the opportunity to meet and discuss their company and the service it provides and this is a good way of getting recognised with other members of BBA within the locality.
BBA offer a unique package of savings on utility costs and other fringe benefits that are providing to be extremely useful.”

Rob Wills - MD

"As one of the founder members of BBA, it has been a pleasure to see the steady membership growth throughout the UK. Anglia Telecoms has saved a tidy four figure sum during its membership and received a number of referrals from BBA which has resulted in increased business for Anglia Telecoms. The BBA Link-up Card Scheme is proving to be very useful to our staff who have started to benefit from the increasing number of offers on the site. We wish BBA every success in the future and watch the growth with interest."

Pas Ruggerio - Managing Director

"Please accept our grateful thanks for the cost reductions on energy and telephones. You have made quite a difference to our running costs. We also appreciate the valuable BBA Linkup Staff Discount Cards and looking forward to enjoying the many benefits which we can see on the website. Abbott Healthcare have no hesitation in recommending your services to other businesses who want to work with an ethical and professional company who are prepared to go an extra mile to ensure we as members make the best use of the member benefits. We would also like to thank you for the management time saved in dealing with the above. We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship."

Martin Bociek - Finance Director

“We are very pleased to recommend Business to Business Associates to anyone concerned with controlling or reducing their costs across a wide range of expenditure headings.
We have been a member since December 1997 and during that time BBA have enabled us to make significant cost savings over several lines of expense, as well as resolving a long running dispute with an electricity supply company.
We look forward to continuing our long and happy association with Business to Business Associates."

Andrew R. Youl - Accountant

"Oliver Adams Limited has been associated with BBA since August 1998. In that time we have saved over £42,000 on electricity bills. In addition they have recently looked at our telephone costs and have made a recommendation which should reduce our telephone bills. Even though the money savings are significant, it is not just this that keeps us with BBA, the staff at BBA are very friendly and helpful and are always on hand to offer advice. We look forward to a long association with them and watch the developments of the BBA Link-up Card Scheme with interest."

Janice Ferris - Company Secretary

We joined the BBA over 11 years ago to take advantage of the gas and electricity services that would help us to make cost savings for our business.

With BBA we have achieved:

• Substantial savings on our gas and electricity for the training and Rugby Football grounds. On one contract, in one year our saving was in excess of £20,000. Overall savings have been in excess of £52,000.

• Confidence as we know that we are always getting the best advice and the best price. We have benchmarked BBA against other companies and they always get us the best deal!

• Support from BBA as they review our contracts. It's a dead easy process as they guide us all the way through.

In this current market it is difficult to know whether to fix rates and what is the best solution for maintaining cost savings for gas and electricity for our business.  We continue to use BBA as they manage our contracts proactively and analyse the data from various suppliers. As they understand the market and know where it’s going, they can provide us with the best advice and deals. We value the support from BBA and, in the 11 years we have been members, we have saved over £52,000.

We are confident in referring BBA to any other business and would recommend that they take advantage of the wide range of benefits that BBA provides.

We initially signed up to the BBA for the telephone 'lease cost routing' benefits and now our employees take advantage of the BBA Link-up Card too. We have been members for over 13 years.

With BBA we have received:

• Benefits for employees include a staff benefit package for over 60 staff through the BBA Link-up Card. This provides our staff with competitive prices for a wide range of goods and services from holidays to home appliances.

• Cost savings on our electricity and telephone through BBA’s lease cost consultancy service. They analyse our call costs, review these with a wide range of suppliers and provide us with the best deal. Overall we have saved over £46,000 using BBA’s services.

• Membership to a very professional organisation that we are always happy to recommend as they provide a good personalised service.

BBA has a wide range of benefits from networking to providing support for businesses to help them achieve cost savings on their fixed overheads. Representatives come to our office to undertake reviews and we can confirm that we have made considerable savings on our telephone call costs. Our employees like the BBA Link-up Card as they make their own savings on purchases too! We have certainly recovered our fee in the cost savings we have made and we would be happy to recommend the organisation to other businesses.

BBA originally rented office space at our company over 13 years ago. We decided to join the organisation to benefit from the savings they could make on our electricity, gas and telephone. Our staff use the BBA Link-up Card to obtain discounts and we have recently taken advantage of the new Carbon Trust Survey service offered.

With BBA we have received:

• A review of our carbon footprint that will help us to save £15,000.

• The best utility prices through BBA negotiating and arranging contracts with suppliers. They have taken the hassle and time out of this process for us and helped us make substantial savings.

• Discounts though the BBA Link-up Card for all our staff.

We have an excellent relationship with BBA. They have taken the hassle and time out of reviewing our utility prices and have undertaken business rate appeals for us. They have the expertise, the contacts and the knowledge to ensure we get the best prices and they have saved us hours of management time so we can get on with running our business.
